I was too smart for my own good, I thought WMF images would be compatible with a greater variety of programs than the CAD oriented DXF format. I should have...
That's a nice looking little boat! Although we think of boats like that as being sort of mini Viking ships, I wonder if the wide-plank boats like the one at...
Are you sure that's a Folboat? It's cockpit is square up front, mine was pointy. It's stringers are square, mine were rounded. It's frames(broken) are solid...
No, they don't seem to be sure about the provenance of the old canvas covered canoe. I dug up the original thread where the fellow tells about his "Christmas...

Joe, I was teasing about the trailer. I'm planning on building my own because nobody makes one like I want. I was however serious about the nesting boat idea...
Joe I'll bring over my Homelite and maybe we can work on you Core Sound. That might fit, with the tailgate down. Might be a little wide for the back of a...
Bryan, I am thinking I may have to design one myself. I am with you...long as possible to fit in a full sized pickup. Maybe around 15' (still a little room...
Joe, Wieght is certainly a big factor. That's part of why I didn't like flat bottom nesters: too much framing. What about round bottom clinker glued lap ply?...
Build two frames at your split point. Assemble the boat frame work and build as if it were going to be full length but put plastic or something at the split...
Hey, does anyone have handy a formula I could use to calculate displacement. What I am after is a way to compare displacement of a 1/4 scale model to the real...
Hang on a minute if you are there, and I think I have you answer. It is squares and cubes and stuff, but pretty easy. Pat ... model ... Seems ... complicated...
Here's a repost of the previous note. On my computer the nice Yahoos a Yahoo put their add right where the link was. Go down a ways here and you will find...
Pat, how does the AF4 Grande compare to your AF20? I know you altered the sheer (very nicely) but any other differences? I also have been looking at the...

Steve, No new pictures yet. I have a roll of film I need to have developed. Joe ... and build as if it were going to be full length but put plastic or ...
The Grande is a 20% scaleup of the 18' AF4. about 22' x 6'5" It looks just like an 18' AF4, just bigger. Bigger than my PK 10% scaleup. (20x6) Mine is 33%...

Take care. Will that "Go Back" program work on old Coots? I could sure use it. Remember what Bob Dylan said. "You got nothin', you got nothin' to lose." Be...
